Training plays a major role in compliance, capability, and culture, but managing it often becomes complex and time-consuming.

Most organisations juggle multiple providers, inconsistent content, and shifting priorities. This article explores a smarter, fully managed approach to training that frees leaders to focus on what matters.

Psychosocial risks are becoming one of the fastest-growing challenges under WHS law, and training alone won’t solve them. But it can spark the conversations and confidence needed for real cultural change.

In recent psychosocial risk workshops with leaders, we saw significant increases in understanding, confidence, and willingness to talk about hazards. Training didn’t just build knowledge—it revealed where internal processes, leadership capability, and practical tools still need attention.

Effective training is a starting point, not a finish line. It creates shared understanding and opens the door to meaningful action.

Compliance has a bad rep — all rules, red tape, and headaches. But what if it could actually fuel growth, build trust, and set your business apart? In this post, our Head of Commercial Law flips the script and shows how smart compliance isn’t a burden, it’s a business advantage.

At this year’s TalentX, we delivered a session on how businesses can prevent and prepare for mental health claims, because responding after the fact is already too late. With mental health conditions now making up 9% of serious workers' compensation claims, and costs rising fast, it's critical to understand your WHS obligations, address psychosocial hazards early, and equip leaders to respond with clarity and care. Here's what we covered, and why it matters more than ever.

The Wright v Findex decision is a clear warning to employers: feedback and performance conversations can cause serious harm if not done properly.

This article unpacks the case, the psychosocial risks involved, and how Risk Collective helps employers take a safer, more integrated approach.

As NSW rolls out mandatory psychological first aid (PFA) training under its Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy for First Responders, there’s a clear message: psychosocial support must move beyond crisis lines and pamphlets. This blog explores how recruitment and on-hire businesses — and indeed, any employer — can take practical steps to embed mental health support into everyday operations.

NSW’s new psychological first aid (PFA) mandate underscores the need for businesses to proactively manage psychosocial risks under WHS legislation. This includes identifying hazards, implementing controls like workload planning, and providing support systems. Relying solely on Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) isn’t enough. Integrating Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) into daily operations offers accessible, peer-led support and helps businesses shift from a reactive approach to one focused on prevention and care.
